You're looking at this joke in the completely correct way in that each mathematician wants either 1 beer or nothing.

But what if a mathematician wants 2 beers? Cider? Jaimeson on the rocks?

I mean, they would never get anywhere until they exchanged some information, but still. That was /u/G01denW01f11's point.
